There's that video of Ball and Chain from Monterey Pop festival; their coming out performance more of less. Occasionally I watch "First Time Viewing.." videos and there is one that is pretty funny. Several Gen Z girls, slackily listening and talking over the music for about 15 seconds and then just listening. They stopped the video and one commented "that girl listening looks like she feels like I do". She couldn't have known the amazed audience member was Queen of Laurel Canyon: Mama Cass Elliot. Cass' expression showed what kind of mind explosion occurred when Janis sang. Wished for many it went on longer.

another reason to miss the PNW, Seattle, P-town and Vancouver. Music was everywhere, accessible and real.
I lived in Seattle late 80s to mid 90s, so was there when grunge took over. It was awesome! And I didn't even go to any big Nirvana or Soundgarden concerts or anything, my friends and I would just go to the bars and listen to local bar bands, and that was a blast too! So yes, back then music was accessible and just everywhere.

I'm familiar with the song but had never actually seen the vid till now - I thought it was something about weed, but instead it's something rather much more creepy... something rather serial killer like?

I've never watch the video until now. I remember hearing that song a lot when it first came out in the mid-90s. There's a lot of discussion on what the song's meaning is as Petty supposedly left it open to interpretation. Some say it he wrote the song as a farewell to his first wife who apparently suffered from depression & drug abuse? Weird video nonetheless.

I watch a lot of real-life crime shows, so putting makeup and a nice dress on a corpse, and then dancing with it like Petty did in the vid strikes me as rather serial killer like. YMMV

Don't Come Around Here No More is also a bit trippy, but more like a LSD kind of trippy, not serial killer trippy. Love that song, btw.!
